Call for Papers           
Submission deadline extended to February 2, 2014
========================================================


=================================
INTRODUCTION
=================================
There is a growing interdisciplinary community of researchers and
research groups working on logical aspects of MAS from the perspectives
of logic, artificial intelligence, computer science, game theory, etc.
The LAMAS workshop serves the community as a platform for presentation, 
exchange, and publication of ideas.

The workshop is intended to cover the following subjects:

- Logical systems for specification, analysis, and reasoning about MAS
- Modeling MAS with logic-based models
- Logic in game theory
- Logic in social choice theory
- Deductive systems and decision procedures for logics for MAS
- Development, complexity analysis, and implementation of algorithmic
methods for formal verification of MAS
- Logic-based tools for MAS
- Applications of logics in MAS

=================================
SUBMISSION
=================================
Authors are invited to submit papers in the following three categories:

- Regular papers up to 15 pages, describing original unpublished
research. Position papers and visionary work in progress can also be
submitted in this category. Simultaneous submission to another venue
is not allowed.

- System descriptions of up to 12 pages, describing new systems or
significant upgrades of existing ones.

- Extended abstracts of 2-5 pages reporting interesting and relevant 
work that has been published (or accepted for publication) in the last 
12 months.

Submissions should be anonymous, subject to double-blind reviewing 
procedure. Each submission will be reviewed by at least 2 PC members.

Papers must be in PDF format and prepared according to the Springer LNCS 
format. For templates and instructions for authors, see 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

=================================
PROCEEDINGS AND POST-PROCEEDINGS
=================================
Workshop notes including all accepted papers will be distributed to AAMAS-2014 
registrants in electronic form. Printed workshop notes will not be made available 
to workshop participants.

Workshop post-proceedings are planned as a journal special issue 
of STUDIA LOGICA. The submissions to that special issue will be subject  
to another reviewing and selection process.

=================================
TUTORIAL SESSION
=================================
According to the rules of AAMAS workshops, the workshop will include a one 
hour tutorial session covering topics of: 

(i)   logic-based modeling of MAS, 
(ii)  deduction and meta-logical properties and techniques 
	  (satisfiability,  bounded  model property, etc.), and 
(iii) applications of logics in MAS (e.g. Verification).
